Finance Course 1: How to Accurately Determine Your Overhead

A step-by-step system to know your real costs and profit in real time

Course Description

You can’t grow what you don’t measure. The first move in improving profitability is knowing, with precision, how much you’re actually spending—and what’s left as real profit. If you only look at a Profit & Loss statement from your accountant at the end of the quarter or year, you’re flying blind. It usually misses key numbers you should be tracking, shows up months after the money has already been spent, and gives you zero ability to adjust course while the month or year is still in play.

In this course, you’ll get a simple, structured method to calculate your overhead on an ongoing basis. You’ll be able to see where every dollar goes, control expenses before they get out of hand, and make decisions based on actual data instead of assumptions.

Course Objectives

  • Break down each major category of expense so you can see exactly what’s driving your costs.

  • Calculate your true overhead, not just a rough estimate from year-end reports.

  • Compare income to outgo in a clear format that lets you evaluate your practice’s financial viability and make smarter decisions.
